WHAT Mr. STAPLES SAYS.
Mr.. o. G. Staples the proprietor OF Willards, who

authorities at New orleans with relation to the
reproduction of their great carnival in this city,
told STAR reporter to-day that the result OF the
CORE SpOndence had been satisfactory. The pro-
posed carnival he said, would be postponed until
October, but would certainly take place then and
would be a grand affair. A gentleman will go to
New Orleans soon to arrange for the shipping OF
the scenes to Washington. and he expects every.
thing to progress smoothly. AT some date In DC.
cODer not yet fixed on, they will have the grand
carnival followed by bali in the night
